Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a heat-retaining cover for a bedding futon, and more specifically, to a heat-retaining auxiliary cover to be worn on a comforter.

[Prior art]

As is well known, when it comes to this kind of bedding and futons, especially comforters, the thickness of the cotton (the amount of interior material) is determined depending on whether it is for summer or winter.
They are classified into thin and thick materials and used accordingly. Summer comforters are thin and soft, so they easily conform to the sleeper's body, and are less likely to create gaps between the comforter and the body. On the other hand, winter comforters are thicker and harder than the summer comforters mentioned above, so they tend to form mounds along the body, making them difficult to fit into. In the case of a tall sleeper, a gap is likely to occur between the bed and the foot of the futon. For this reason, when using a winter futon, it is common practice to use a blanket or the like to fill the above-mentioned gaps and to help keep the body warm.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, with regard to the above-mentioned winter futon, even when sleeping using a blanket, etc., if the sleeper turns over or changes his/her body position,
Apart from the blanket, the futon itself may shift, creating a gap around the sleeper's shoulders or neck, or the futon under the feet may float up, resulting in hot and cold air coming in and out, or in other words, warm air inside the futon. This caused some people to sleep cold or catch a cold due to the outflow of cold air and the inflow of cold air into the room.

Note that among the conventional futons to which the present invention is directed, futons containing down feathers, which are high-class products, will not be discussed in particular.

〔the purpose〕

The purpose of this invention is to provide a thermal cover that is worn on bedding futons, especially winter comforters, so that the outer periphery of the futon has a matte state. The purpose is to help you sleep soundly in your current condition.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was newly proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, especially those of people sleeping on winter futons. The first type of heat-retaining cover is formed by forming a rectangular heat-retaining mat portion that is appropriately larger than the target comforter, and arranging means for attaching the comforter, such as hooks or buttons, to appropriate parts of the heat-retaining mat portion. This is a second type of thermal cover in which a duvet cover part and a thermal mat part placed around the outer periphery of the duvet cover part are integrated.

[Action (mode of use)]

Regarding the use (handling) of the thermal cover according to the present invention, in the first type described above, the cover can be worn by hanging the entire cover with hanging means arranged on both sides of the comforter.
In addition, in the second type described above, by placing the futon inside the futon cover part, the heat-retaining mat part can be worn with the futon expanded around the futon, as in the case of a normal futon cover.

And no matter which type of thermal cover you have,
When the comforter is laid out as usual,
Each heat-retaining mat part spreads around the futon and exhibits a heat-retaining state where it is spread over the top surface of a tatami mat or the like. Therefore, even if the comforter slips away from the body due to a sleeper turning over, etc., the heat-retaining mat part of the heat-retaining cover blocks the inflow and outflow of hot and cold air between the room and the inside of the futon, and maintains the warmth inside the futon. maintain.

〔Example〕

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The heat-insulating cover according to the present invention will be described with reference to preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings. In this example, various types of heat-retaining covers to be worn on winter comforters will be described in detail by classifying each example. Note that the futons F ₁ and F ₂ in FIGS. 16a and 16b are exemplified with and without covers, respectively.

[First Embodiment] The thermal cover C ₁ of this example is of a type that can be hung on the cover-equipped comforter F ₁ shown in FIG. 16a, and is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4. As a whole, using a thin, suitably flexible heat-insulating cloth material 1 of uniform thickness, the heat-insulating mat part M ₁ is suitably larger than the size of the futon F ₁ and has a vertical rectangular frame shape with an opening in the center. It consists of For example, a folded hem cloth 2 is sewn around the inside of the opening of the heat-retaining mat part _M1 , and hanging means 3 for the futon F1 are appropriately arranged at appropriate positions around the hem cloth ₂ . (See Figure 2). On the other hand, one side of the above-mentioned heat-retaining mat part _M1 (the figure shows the upper mat edge m)
In the center thereof, there is formed a substantially U-shaped relief part 4 into which the sleeping person's face and neck can fit, and a substantially rectangular shoulder rest part 5 for covering and keeping the sleeping person's shoulders warm. Note that a fabric corresponding to the so-called "edges and selvedges" may be sewn around the outer periphery of the heat-insulating mat portion _M1 .

By the way, in the thermal cover C ₁ of this example, the thermal fabric material 1 is a flexible blanket-like material (including synthetic fibers, etc.), and the border fabric 2 is a plain white material or a patterned material. For example, the hanging means 3 may be a hook, button, etc. However, for the hanging means 3 on the thermal cover C ₁ side,
On the _F1 side, equivalent hooking means 3 shall be arranged around the front side of the cover C. In addition, in the case of button fastening, the thermal cover C ₁ side and the futon cover F ₁
The button and buttonhole shall be placed on either side.

The first thermal cover of this example configured as described above
In C ₁ , by laying the whole thing in the unfolded state (spread state) and laying it on top of the comforter F ₁ , the heat-retaining mat M ₁ spreads around the outer circumference of the futon F ₁ , and the mat edges on the top, bottom, left and right sides. The duvet cover C side can be easily worn by an extremely simple and easy procedure of simply hooking the hooking means 3 at each part of the duvet cover C side. And such comforter _F1 itself is like mattress S
(See Figures 3 and 4) When the mat M1 is laid normally on top of the tatami mat or carpet, the left, right and bottom edges m of the heat retention mat _M1 are laid on the top surface of the tatami mat or carpet as shown in the figure. The edge part m of the upper mat is in a heat-retaining state where it is spread on the mattress S, and the shoulder rest part 5 is in a heat-retaining state where it is spread along the mattress S on a tatami mat or the like.

Therefore, when sleeping using the futon _F1 with the thermal cover _C1 of this example, the sleeper's neck is freed by the relief part 4 of the upper mat edge m,
Even if the futon F ₁ forms a heap along the body of the sleeper, or even if the futon shifts or the part of the futon under the feet floats as the sleeper turns over or changes his/her body position, , the entire heat-retaining mat part _M1 hangs down unaffected by any of the futons, and the three surrounding mat edges m maintain the heat-retaining state for the three surrounding futons _F1 as described above. In addition, the shoulder rests 5 on both sides of the upper mat edge m cover both shoulders of the sleeper to maintain a warm state.

This actively blocks the inflow and outflow of warm and cold air caused by tossing and turning during sleep, that is, the outflow of air inside the futon and the inflow of cold air into the room, and maintains the inside of the futon in a good heat-retaining state. You can sleep soundly under comfortable warm conditions without feeling cold while sleeping.

In addition, as an example of wearing the thermal cover C ₁ of this example separately,
As illustrated in Fig. 5, align the cover with the back side of the comforter and hang it with the hanging means 3, and then
It is also possible to wear the mat with each mat edge m of _M1 laid on the top surface of a tatami mat or the like.

[Second Embodiment] The thermal cover C ₂ of this example is of the same type as the first thermal insulation cover C ₁ of the previous example, and is shown in Figs.
As illustrated in FIG. 9, a thin and suitably flexible heat-insulating cloth material 11 is placed inside a cover 10 that is approximately rectangular bag-shaped and has an opening in the center.
It constitutes a heat-retaining mat part _M2 in the shape of a vertical rectangular frame that is appropriately larger than the size of the futon _F1 . In this heat-insulating mat part _M2 , for each of the upper, lower, left and right mat edges m, the cover part 1 is sewn into a bi-folded tube bag shape as illustrated in FIG.
The heat insulating cloth material 11 is placed inside the comforter F 2 to have a substantially uniform thickness and a required width, and is formed to be thinner and more flexible than the comforter F ₁ . Then, as in the previous example, on the upper mat edge m of the heat retention mat part _M2 ,
A substantially U-shaped relief part 14 and a substantially square-shaped shoulder rest part 1
On the other hand, on the inside of the cloth portions of the cover portions 12 around the four peripheries, means 13 for hanging the futon F ₁ are appropriately arranged.

Incidentally, in the thermal cover C ₂ of this example, the cover 10 is made of a plain white fabric or a cloth with a pattern, and the thermal insulation material 11 is a flexible blanket-like material (including synthetic fibers, etc.). In addition, a cotton-like material may be used as an example, and the entirety of the heat-insulating mat portion _M2 , that is, the four surrounding mat edges m and both shoulder pads 15, may be sewn with thread if necessary. . Note that the above-mentioned hanging means 13 is the same as in the previous example.

As mentioned above, in the second thermal cover _C2 of this example,
As in the case of the first thermal cover C ₁ in the previous example, unfold the whole thing and lay it on top of the futon F ₁ , and then attach each hanging means 1 on the cover C ₁ side and the futon cover C side.
It can be worn by simply attaching 3.3 comrades. And such comforter F ₁ becomes mattress S (see Figures 8 and 9).
As shown in the figure, each mat edge m around _the four peripheries of the futon F ₁
The tatami and futon S spread out and protrude from the outer periphery of the
It is placed on top of the body to keep it warm, and the shoulder rest 1
5 is placed along the mattress S on a tatami mat or the like to maintain heat.

Therefore, when sleeping using the futon _F1 of the thermal cover _C2 of this example, as in the case of the previous example, the relief part ₁ of the upper mat part m of the thermal mat part M2
4, the sleeper's neck is left free, and the futon _F1 may become piled up along the sleeper's body, or the futon may shift as the sleeper turns over, etc.
Even if the futon part on the foot side floats, the entire heat-retaining mat part _M2 will hang down without being affected by the shift of the futon, and each mat edge part m and shoulder rest part 15 will maintain the heat-retaining state. do. This makes it possible to actively block the inflow and outflow of hot and cold air while sleeping and maintain a good heat retention state within the futon, allowing the user to sleep in a comfortable warm state.

As an application example of the second thermal cover _C2 of this example, as illustrated in FIG _. Alternatively, a separately formed upper mat portion m may be hooked by the hooking means 13 described above. Further, as an example of a partial configuration change of the heat-retaining mat portion _M2 , for the four peripheral mat edges m, the heat-retaining cloth material 11 is arranged inside about the outer half of the cover portion 12 on each side, The hooking means 13 may be placed at an appropriate location on the inner half of the cover 12 on each side. Further, as an example of a wearing mode, it is also possible to wear it inside a futon with the hooking means ₁₃ , similar to the first heat retaining cover C1.

[Third Embodiment] The thermal cover C ₃ of this example is of the type that is worn while covering the comforter F ₂ shown in FIG. 16b, and is illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 14. As shown in _FIG .
The heat-retaining mat portion M ₃ located around the comforter F 2 is formed in a series, and the whole is formed into a vertical rectangular shape that is appropriately larger than the comforter F ₂ .

In such a thermal cover _C3 , the futon cover part 20 is sewn to a size that fits the futon _F2 , and the center part thereof is an opening for putting in and taking out the futon,
Sewn to the periphery of this opening is a hanging belt 23 (the figure shows a set of one strap, but a set of two straps may also be used), which is hung by a hooking means (usually a hook) similar to the previous example. On the other hand, in the heat-retaining mat part _M3 , both the upper and lower and left and right mat edges m are inside the tube-shaped cover part 22 that is sewn into sections around the outer periphery of the futon cover part 20, as in the previous example. Similarly, the heat insulating member 21
The interior is made of blankets, thin cotton, etc.
It is considered to be thinner and more flexible than Comforter _F2 .
A relief part 24 and a shoulder rest part 25 are formed on the upper mat edge m, as in the case of the previous example.

In the third thermal cover C ₃ of this example described above, the comforter F ₂ is inserted through the opening of the comforter cover part 20 to cover it, and then each of the hanging belts 23 is hung, as in the case of a normal futon cover. It can be worn by Then, such futon F ₂ is replaced by futon S (first
(See Figures 3 and 14), as shown in the figure, each mat edge m around the four periphery of the heat-retaining mat part _M3 is placed on the top surface of the tatami mat, etc. and the heat-retaining mattress laid on the mattress S. In addition, the shoulder rest 25 assumes a heat-retaining state where it is laid out along the mattress S on the tatami mat.

Therefore, when sleeping using the futon F ₂ with the thermal cover C ₃ of this example, as in the case of the _previous example, the sleeping person can be The area around the neck is free, and even if the comforter _F2 shifts or floats as the sleeper turns over in bed, the entire heat-retaining mat _M3 will not be affected by the shifting of the comforter and will remain in a drooping state. The covered state is maintained by each mat edge m and the shoulder rest part 25 to actively block the inflow and outflow of hot and cold air between the inside of the futon and the room, effectively maintaining the heat retention state inside the futon. This allows you to sleep in a comfortable and warm state.

In addition, the heat insulation cover C ₃ according to the third embodiment
In this case, the futon cover part 20 may be hooked to the futon _F2 using the hooking means described above. In addition, this futon cover part 20 and the heat insulation mat part
_M3 may be formed separately and both may be connected, for example, by the above-mentioned hooking means or chuck.

Any of the first to third thermal covers disclosed in the above embodiments, when worn on a comforter, can of course be handled as an integral part of the comforter, and can be folded together with the comforter or dried in the sun. On the other hand, it is also possible to remove the thermal cover from the futon and dry it in the sun, or wash it if necessary.

In addition, as another example of this proposal, the first thermal cover
As an example of a further development of C ₁ , the 15th
As shown schematically in the figure, a heat-retaining mat portion _M4 having a substantially rectangular shape that is appropriately larger than the size of the comforter is formed using a piece of heat-retaining cloth material 31 (preferably a blanket-like material), and the upper mat of this mat portion _M4 is It is also recommended that the edge portion m has a relief portion 34 and a shoulder rest portion 35 similar to those in the previous example, while also arranging means 33 for hanging the futon at an appropriate location inside the mat portion _M4 .
Such a thermal cover _C4 can be worn on either the front side or the back side of a comforter, and depending on how it is used, it can also be used as a thermal cover that also doubles as a blanket.

[Effect of idea]

As can be understood from the above description of the embodiments, the first and second types of thermal covers of the present invention can be easily worn using a hanging means that matches the target comforter. In the dual-use state, the entire heat-retaining mat part of the heat-retaining cover spreads out like a mat around the outer circumference of the futon to exhibit a heat-retaining state where it is spread on a tatami mat. Further, according to the third type of thermal cover, it can be handled in the same way as a normal duvet cover, and when the duvet is put inside the duvet cover and worn using the latching means, the thermal mat part of the duvet It is placed around the outside to maintain heat.

Therefore, with any type of heat insulating cover of the present invention, when the comforter shifts due to the sleeper turning over, etc., the heat insulating mat portion blocks the inflow and outflow of hot and cold air between the inside of the futon and the room. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a comfortable heat-retaining state so that the sleeper can sleep soundly. Considering this, it can be said that it is ideal as a thermal cover for people who have a particularly bad (severe) sleeping position.
Can be put into practical use effectively.
